Welcome, everyone, to Uncovering Asia: The Second Asian Investigative Journalism Conference. From September 23 to 25, we are bringing together top investigative reporters, data journalists, and media law and security experts from across Asia and around the world.

Below you will find more than 60 sessions and special events. There are panels on digging out hidden facts online, the environment, business, and how to fund your project; seminars on security and tracking dirty money; data journalism workshops by the best in the business; and much more.

You can follow us on Twitter at #IJAsia16. On behalf of your hosts — the Global Investigative Journalism Network, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, and the Centre for Investigative Journalism, Nepal, we wish you a big hello! Namaste!

Bhrikuti Rai

Kathmandu-based, Columbia University alum Bhrikuti is the co-host of the Boju Bajai podcast, created by and for young women. It translates as "grandmas" — the kind of unfiltered advice you'd get from one about growing up as a young woman in Nepal. Slut shaming, body image, sexual assault and other "taboo" issues are all fair game on her show. Bhrikuti will talk about how she started the show with Itisha Giri, and where they are taking it.
